We're begging you, please don’t self-diagnose from memes on the internet... Especially not codependency, because, heads up, codependency isn’t even a diagnosis!! This week Maryellen talks all about codependency and rewrites some “inspirational” quotes to reflect the truth: 

What do people mean when they say "codependent"?

Codependency originated from alcoholics anonymous 

Popularized with romantic relationships, but can be in all types of relationships 

Unhealthy relationship dynamics don’t automatically make the relationship codependent 

Ask yourself: does the power dynamic in this relationship feel equal?   

The good news? We can change unhealthy relationship dynamics!
